Help iPad is clocking and cant turn off

My mailbox got stuck so my wife tried turning off our iPad using the top button and now its simply clocking with a black screen and its hasnt turned off after 30 minutes of clocking. Any ideas on how to turn it off? I've tried holding the on/off button down, to no avail. I guess I could simply let the battery die.

  • My ipad froze while updating cant turn off, any suggestions

    my ipad froze during update. cant turn off. any suggestions?

    If you're sure that the update isn't still happening then have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

    How to: Force your iDevice into recovery mode.
    1. Turn off your device. If you can't turn it off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time and wait a few seconds for it to turn off.
    2. Plug the device's USB cable into your computer only.
    3. Hold down the device's Home button as you connect the USB cable to it.
    When you see the Connect to iTunes screen, release the Home button. If you don't see this screen, try steps 1 through 3 one more time.
    4. iTunes should open and display a message such as: "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."

    5. Use iTunes to restore your device.
    If you don't see your device in iTunes, follow these steps for Mac or these for Windows.

  • Cant turn off my ipad, help

    I cant turn off my iPad it just keeps spinning, can anyone help? PLEASE

    It may just take a few minutes for some reason... I've seen this happen when I've switched between Airplay speaker sets, used Remote with my ATV2, etc. Seems like it just gets in a look trying to deactivate streams or something. But the steps suggested previously should work, that's how I force it off when this happens.

    You need to reset the phone, but that requires a functioning on/off (lock) button.  Time to visit Apple.

  • I was working on my iPad 1 and it turned off and now it won't turn back on.  It was 50% charged and even when I connect it to be charged it still won't turn on.  Is there a reset button?

    I was working on my iPad and it turned off suddenly and now it won't turn back on.  It was at least 50% charged and when I tried to connect the charger it still will not come on.  Is there a reset button?

    Thank you so much!  It worked, I was reading around and saw this has happened to a number of iPad users.  Thank you for your prompt response, I was so worried I broke it or something.

  • TRIED TO DOWNLOAD SOFTWARE ios7.1.2 TO MY IPAD. iPAD FROZE ON THE APPLE PICTURE AND WONT TURN OFF OR RESPOND AT ALL.

    TRIED TO DOWNLOAD SOFTWARE ios7.1.2 TO MY IPAD. iPAD FROZE ON THE APPLE PICTURE AND WONT TURN OFF OR RESPOND AT ALL. IPAD MAY NEED MORE FREE MEMORY FOR THE NEW SOFTWARE BUT HOW DO I FREE UP MEMORY IF THE IPAD IS FROZEN. CAN THIS BE DONE ON iTUNES OR THE APPLE SITE?

    Took my iPad to the Apple store today and they were able to unfreeze it with a simple forced reset. This is done by pressing the Off button at the same time as you press the button on the front and hold for about 20 seconds. The new software had successfully installed and the iPad had frozen when it was starting up again after install. Not sure why this simple process can't be part of a FAQ page on the Apple site.
